Nicole! Ugh! Every time you talk about a flower I think ohhh I need those (or more of those in the case of gladiolus). First it was lisianthus and now I need more glads. 😂. You are an enabler! 😂😂😂
Well....now I have 500 bulbs coming, no idea where I can even plant them but they look amazing and I really want to attempt to do a small cut flower self serve stand to see if I have any success. Thanks for encouraging my flower obsession! So happy I found your channel!
Love this video! After my father’s death, I randomly stopped at a small florist shop and bought the most glorious bouquet of Glads! . My dad loved flowers and always said “don’t bring me flowers when I die, bring them to me when I’m living. I bought that bouquet in his memory and it made me smile! I am definitely growing gladiolus this year! Thanks for the great info!💗🌺
You have just helped me realize why I haven’t been passionate about growing flowers, I have some for pollinators but I’m obsessed with growing vegetables. When you spoke about the memories for some people I started to tear up and got that lump in my throat, as much as I love flowers the memories are painful. When I was young I lost my teenage sister, two years later I lost my teenage brother, I just realized how much I associate gladiolus (and other flowers) with loss and pain, there were tons of them around during a painful time ! Well I’m 55 yrs old and my daughter is starting a flower and vegetable farm (that’s why I started watching) so I’m going to face my painful past and plant some glads in memory of the beautiful people I have lost !!! Thank you for helping me 🙏🏻
The color of my first Glads absolutely shocked me the first time they bloomed. They were those salmon-pink color and were the definition of “pop of color”.
I love watching you light up as you talk about flowers. It makes me happy just watching. My father has black silkies too. And sunscreen. Pasty white is far more healthier then rapidly wrinkling and skin cancer. Besides us northern girls just need a Victorian parasol while out among the flowers, like they used long ago to protect themselves from the sun.
I LOVE this channel and seriously stock it everyday for new videos! True, authentic, witty and funny ..... I can’t get enough of you. People are drawn to you because you don’t hold back! Of course you produce gorgeous flowers too 😍💐but the combination of your humor and flowers coupled with your production skills makes the perfect collaboration!!! Keep being you Boo! And doing your thang’!
Well, you convinced me! I haven't had glads for several years but I'm gonna have some this year!! You're killing my gardening budget! I also "want all of the things"!
Never thought about growing glads until I watched your video. Your videos are addicting and so inspirational. One day when I have my acres I’ll know just what I need to know when it’s time to grow my cut flower gardens. Thank you so much for sharing.
Omg!! Now I can't unsee the opera singing glads! 🤣 my first shipment of glads is on the way! You sold me on them. I can't wait to use them in my bouquets. 😍
We've planted 100 gladiolas in our home garden. I am so looking forward to their magnificence! We're in Zone 6b (Massachusetts) so they are not winter hardy but so far growing hardily and I am hoping for some beautiful bouquets. Love your channel.
Thank you for the wealth of information, one of the most captivating YT posts thus far. This is my first spring planting Gladiolus (Central Valley CA) but you have inspired me to plant more. Blessing to you and your family.
Omg, I grow this every year in my front garden, we live on the main drag in a rural area. When people ask I say they are dame edna’s Gladys! I live in a rural area and the lady from the local nursery stop by one evening to ask me. “What the heck are dame edna Gladys?”. I showed her a you tube video. “Omg they are gladiolus!” Last spring I walked into the nursery, there was a picture of dame Edna above the bulbs. They were labeled “Dame Edna Gladys”, wave your glad!!!
I adore glads too! I have loved them since I was a child. They're magnificent and stately in any landscape or bouquet. Love your bouquets, sweet disposition, and adorable sense of humor. Keep up the great work and good luck in your new endeavors! ❤
I love Gladiolus!! My grandparents were florist and I remember the gorgeous sprays of glads they would arrange for Memorial Day. I find myself just smiling when I watch your videos, not to mention the outburst of laughter. You’re becoming one of my favorite TH-camrs! Have a good day!!
your dad talks with the exact same inflection as you! That is so awesome. I just love your personality and how you explain everything so fun and enjoyable. love the video!
I literally just bought some gladiolus! I've never grown any before and thought "what the heck". That 'Jessica' is stunning! I'm really looking forward to seeing yours in bloom. 😃
Nicole, you put smiles, grind and laughter in your video. I am so happy that you accepted the challenge of the Dame Edna. I totally forgot about her and my hubby goes "who"? When he saw the pics.....he just laugh. 🤣 We forgot she loves glads. Oh, boy !! Can't wait for that day. Hurray !! Great blog ! Very detailed 😃
Always makes me happy to see how enthusiastic you are. I have gladiolas Coming in April. My mother had white ones in her bridal bouquet. They had them arranged in such a way that they trailed downward in the front of the bouquet. She loves them.
Thank you for this video! My dad, When he was alive, used to go to a farmer's home to buy glads for my mom and me. I always got first choice of which I wanted. They were beautiful! All of your information is much appreciated!
So excited for the challenge! As a small wedding florist , I would recommend using a strong floral wire. You could twist them around the stem as needed and it would blend in . Good luck!😂
I'm sitting here trying to get caught up on some work this evening and I'm laughing my butt off, you are hilarious and educational! The best of both worlds.
I do love gladiolus. But, the flower I am looking forward to seeing in your garden this summer is the bearded irises. Bearded irises bring back my childhood.
Dear Nicole, we have more than the 'love' of flowers in common, 'Dame Edna' is fantastic!!! She is one person who makes me laugh alot. Thanks for the video friend.
Ahhh I have wayyyyy too many seeds and wayyyyy too many flowers and I definitely don't need more but all of those are SO gorgeous, especially the last chocolatey purple ones! Maybe next year when I have a better idea of my space and kick out some of the things I like less.... I can't wait to see your Dame Edna!
Thank you Nicole....I grew a few gladiolus last summer and I loved them...so did the hummingbirds!! I too can't wait for glads this summer!! I've been collecting them :)
OMG - you are one in a million - and that's a good thing !!! thanks for all the info - I'm planning on a cut flower garden on our new property and all this info is so helpful and your enthusiasm is extremely infectious & inspirational. I can't wait to get started. And thanks for the buying info - will definitely check 'em out !!!
I love the old gladiolus and have been adding to my collection. I am in zone 7 and they survive the winter. I am inspired to dig some corms up. Now I know when to cut them - always waited too long. Thanks for the tips!
I have one growing it’s showing pink I planted it last summer in a pot .Its 54f in Brighton England today 36f at night. I hope the others grow too they are just the leaves at the moment. Love your channel your so infectious
OUCHIE! Bless your heart! I hope your boo boo heals quickly, Nicole! Did you just make the sound a thrip makes??????? Now I have to go buy MORE gladdies! Your videos are spectacular, especially the outtakes! Can you tell I love puncuation!? Happy Gardening, sister!
Girl you are the only one I can watch twice and laugh even more to your silliness😂And can I add I was just like “Oh wait did I order enough gladiolus”? Lol
Perfect timing on this video! I’m in Phoenix 🌵so my glads have been up for a little bit now. I can’t wait! Of course, by the time you are harvesting yours, my garden will be a literal hot mess so your Dame Edna video will be very appreciated over here by then. Anyway, in addition to the traditional glads, I also grow Abyssinian Gladiolus (also called Peacock Orchids). Have you ever heard of them? They are just as easy but the flowers have a different shape and are white with a gorgeous dark purpley red throat. So pretty and one of my faves. I have only grown mine in the landscape so far but they would be glorious in a vase. Thanks for keeping the videos coming. You’re awesome! 🌻🌷🌹
omg I thought I would get a little tutorial but instead I got the best information and the best laugh ever!! You are amazing, thank you for your energy and sharing with such enthusiasm! I love gladiolus and I love how much you love them too!
I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!!!!!! YOU REMIND ME OF MY BEST FRIEND EXCEPT YOURE ALSO A FLOWER FARMER! THANKS FOR DOING SO MANY AMAZING VIDEOS. YOURE INFORMATIVE, HELPFUL, AND FUN.
Lol! From now on every time I see a glad, I will think it’s singing to me! I love that! And that flyer looks like it was made specifically for you. Wouldn’t that be something. Love the video Nicole! ❤️❤️
Gladiolas are one of my favorites, I always buy a bunch at the farmers market when they are in season. I haven't been able to get them to grow well in my garden yet but we're trying again this year.
Dame Edna! Haha I saw her 20 years ago at the Met Opera on New Years Eve with my grandma. I had no idea what to think of drag queens when I was 10 years old, but she made an impression! Thanks for bringing up that memory, even not flower related!
I remember my great grandmother having them in her flower bed. I never really got into growing them because you know, zone 4b. The one thing I do remember about gladiolus is that Drop Dead Fred is allergic to them (my kids watched that move a million times). I’d like to try growing them sometime. Maybe next year. Thanks for sharing such details. ☮️-Kirsten
Nicole, you are the first person to make me excited about my glads. We bought a house last summer with beautifully curated gardens and I’m (not so patiently) waiting to see what unfurls this spring. This fall, I dug up so many gladiolus corms (zone 6b). I’m ‘glad’ 😉to say I have 400ish in storage waiting to be planted next month. Thank you for getting me excited about them. You are inspiring. Question though, what do you do with the cormels?
Nicole, I’d love to see you do a little experiment and leave a few in the ground over winter. Like me in northern Michigan, zone 5, you probably enough snow to insulate them. I understand your succession planting plan for the cut flowers, but perhaps you could try a few when you create the new landscape around your porch.
In the thumb here in Michigan and my mom is begging me to come dig up her glads and take them because she left all hers in the ground and they keep coming back every year. My mom LOVES her mulch so that might have something to do with it.
Love it! Beautiful blooms to brighten our winter day! Dame Edna and Nicole - it’s an Epic Rivalry!! 😂😂 How much ☕️☕️ did you have before filming this video? Now I have to order glads!😂😂
Doing it!! Ordered a bunch load :) Was listening to the podcast, and being from Alberta Canada I have similar temps. I laughed so hard😂 , "-35 C is that even possible, how are you even alive"- Lets Grow Girls..😂.
I know these are considered annuals in my Zone 5 garden, but my neighbor has a patch of these that he says - and I've seen - they come back every year. I usually grow these in a pot and toss the bulbs out. I'm going to try and plant them deeply. Have you heard of this happening before in colder zones?
Oh Nicole! You should be onstage! Sooo funny and natural! You have the best unscripted videos! And the most awesome, what some would call, """BLOOPERS"", be we know it's just you being au natural. Beautiful Nicole... you are a Gladiolus.... different, rare, glorious. Have a blessed week 🌄.
I'm much better you silly 🤪 girl after laughing my but off I'm at work and was bored waiting for my flight to arrive until I watched 😅 your video you are great 👍 thank you for making my day.
I love this video!!! The focus on an individual plant is so fun! Question- have you ever started early glads inside to get a jump on the season? I’m thinking of giving it a try this season!!
I have not. I tried growing them in a crate to extend the season but they didn't seem happy in there. I could have paid more attention to them and forgot to water a couple times.
Received an order of summer bulbs yesterday including glads. I'm planting them in the flower bed around my deck to bring the hummers close. Was going to wait until after our last frost date - March 28 - but I may go ahead and plant some this week. Thanks for the information... and the amusement.
I have the same pure excitement when looking at and talking about flowers lol. My husband doesn't get it haha. I want a paradise of flowers when I walk out my door. Would love to take a stroll around my yard being able to clip what I want for vases. Only issue is I prefer prennials. They just spread on their own and I can separate when over crowding and plant some elsewhere. I'm zone 6, I'd have to dig up Gladiolus and store them. I stored elephant ears one year pulled them out to replant and after awhile noticed maggots crawling on my counter. Yup disgusting apparently it rotted. Haven't stored a single bulb since lol.
Nicole! Ugh! Every time you talk about a flower I think ohhh I need those (or more of those in the case of gladiolus). First it was lisianthus and now I need more glads. 😂. You are an enabler! 😂😂😂
LOL Sorry, Melissa! So....should I not talk about my tulips? LOL
Well....now I have 500 bulbs coming, no idea where I can even plant them but they look amazing and I really want to attempt to do a small cut flower self serve stand to see if I have any success. Thanks for encouraging my flower obsession! So happy I found your channel!
“The earth laughs in flowers”, which must be especially true for gladioli and their singing faces 😄
Also... I, too, ordered 500 Jessica from Fred Nagel in January since it’s also my name 😁
Love this video! After my father’s death, I randomly stopped at a small florist shop and bought the most glorious bouquet of Glads! . My dad loved flowers and always said “don’t bring me flowers when I die, bring them to me when I’m living. I bought that bouquet in his memory and it made me smile! I am definitely growing gladiolus this year! Thanks for the great info!💗🌺
Looking forward to seeing your Dame Edna creation
I'm going to need more money if I'm going to keep watching your channel 😂 every flower you talk about I think I need some of them!! 😍
LOL sorry!

You had me at hummingbirds!!
The color of my first Glads absolutely shocked me the first time they bloomed. They were those salmon-pink color and were the definition of “pop of color”.
They're perfect Pam! Those are some of my favs :)
This was awesome!!! So packed full of valuable info ! Can you do this same thing with other flowers ? Maybe a series ?
I love watching you light up as you talk about flowers. It makes me happy just watching. My father has black silkies too. And sunscreen. Pasty white is far more healthier then rapidly wrinkling and skin cancer.

Yay! Nicole and coffee 💚 you just made this rainy Friday sooo much better! Have a great weekend flower friend 💐
Thank you! You too!

Wow, thank you, Lyndsey! I'm blushing - I can't wait for flower season I'll definitely be posting more content!

Glads and Dame Edna!!! Both spectacular and lovely! I can’t wait....to recreate!!
Omg!! Now I can't unsee the opera singing glads! 🤣 my first shipment of glads is on the way! You sold me on them. I can't wait to use them in my bouquets. 😍
You're going to love them! and yes- you can't unsee them. I plan on mine giving a musical performance this summer. LOL
@@FlowerHillFarm 🤣🤣 that will be epic.
I LOVE that you got your Grandpa on video!! What a sweetheart💜

This is my favorite story! Thanks for sharing!
I decided not to spray unless I had a SEVERE infestation, & I started to see SOOOO many beneficial insects!
I adore glads too! I have loved them since I was a child. They're magnificent and stately in any landscape or bouquet. Love your bouquets, sweet disposition, and adorable sense of humor. Keep up the great work and good luck in your new endeavors! ❤

Can't wait!
Always makes me happy to see how enthusiastic you are. I have gladiolas
Coming in April. My mother had white ones in her bridal bouquet.
They had them arranged in such a way that they trailed downward in the front of the bouquet. She loves them.
Well that sounds gorgeous!
Thank you for this video! My dad, When he was alive, used to go to a farmer's home to buy glads for my mom and me. I always got first choice of which I wanted. They were beautiful! All of your information is much appreciated!

Your daily harvests sound like fun, and as a fellow zone 4 gardener you give so much inspiration!!
They are! I love it!
Stop it, Nicole😂I’m running out of room!!!
I'm sorry! I haven't even started yet LOL
I'm sitting here trying to get caught up on some work this evening and I'm laughing my butt off, you are hilarious and educational! The best of both worlds.
Thanks Kelly!
I do love gladiolus. But, the flower I am looking forward to seeing in your garden this summer is the bearded irises. Bearded irises bring back my childhood.
I’m so excited about these too! I can’t wait to add more
By the way, I saw you gifted Laura's daughter a Flower Hill Farm pink onesie. It was adorable and thoughtful. 💐😊
Yes! Thank you! She's such a beautiful baby- precious!
You’ve convinced me. I’ve ordered some glads. You enthusiasm is contagious!
Dear Nicole, we have more than the 'love' of flowers in common, 'Dame Edna' is fantastic!!! She is one person who makes me laugh alot. Thanks for the video friend.
Wonderful! I've been watching her videos and she cracks me up!
Ahhh I have wayyyyy too many seeds and wayyyyy too many flowers and I definitely don't need more but all of those are SO gorgeous, especially the last chocolatey purple ones! Maybe next year when I have a better idea of my space and kick out some of the things I like less....

Brilliant video as always, really helpful for me and Im only growing about 70 in my small garden but i love them. Thanks for all your videos x
Thanks so much!
Thank you Nicole....I grew a few gladiolus last summer and I loved them...so did the hummingbirds!! I too can't wait for glads this summer!! I've been collecting them :)
Wonderful!
Possums!!! I like to see you dressed up with gladdies.
You just made my morning coffee! I can't wait to see Dame Nicole!!! hahahaha. Keep up the great work. You are so inspiring. :)
I'm growing glads this year for the first time! This video was really helpful, can't wait 😁
OMG - you are one in a million - and that's a good thing !!! thanks for all the info - I'm planning on a cut flower garden on our new property and all this info is so helpful and your enthusiasm is extremely infectious & inspirational. I can't wait to get started. And thanks for the buying info - will definitely check 'em out !!!
So nice of you! Best of luck!
You see through the looking glass into the dancing and singing garden.
Love that!
Can't wait to see "Dame"Nicole!!
Thank you so much for sharing your wholesale sources!! I have had a heck of a time finding them!!!
I love seeing how excited you get talking about flowers 😆 it’s contagious too!
Omg I just love you!!! You bring me sooo much joy and encouragement 💜💜💜💜
Thanks Rechelle!
Ditto!
I grew my first glads last year. Needless to say, I ordered several more for this year. They are beautiful!
Grew glads for the first time last year and loved them. They attracted hummingbirds like crazy 🤩
Yes they do! So fun
I love these flowers too! I can't wait to get them in the ground! Thanks for all your great info, Nicole! 💜
You are so welcome!
Oh great, now I’ll be singing opera in my head every time I see a Gladiola 😆
Operatic Glads should def be a thing! 😄
Oh, I'll definitely be making that video this summer- wait for it!
I love the old gladiolus and have been adding to my collection. I am in zone 7 and they survive the winter. I am inspired to dig some corms up. Now I know when to cut them - always waited too long. Thanks for the tips!
I have one growing it’s showing pink I planted it last summer in a pot .Its 54f in Brighton England today 36f at night. I hope the others grow too they are just the leaves at the moment. Love your channel your so infectious
Oh wow!
Amazing Karen!
OUCHIE! Bless your heart! I hope your boo boo heals quickly, Nicole! Did you just make the sound a thrip makes??????? Now I have to go buy MORE gladdies! Your videos are spectacular, especially the outtakes! Can you tell I love puncuation!? Happy Gardening, sister!
Girl you are the only one I can watch twice and laugh even more to your silliness😂And can I add I was just like “Oh wait did I order enough gladiolus”? Lol
Loved the podcast and the video. I’m supposed to be painting my living room today but I have to go order more glads!
😆
😁 priorities 👍🏻😁
I can not be held accountable! LOL Enjoy!
Grampa at the beginning was darling!! Fun video.
Perfect timing on this video! I’m in Phoenix 🌵so my glads have been up for a little bit now. I can’t wait! Of course, by the time you are harvesting yours, my garden will be a literal hot mess so your Dame Edna video will be very appreciated over here by then. Anyway, in addition to the traditional glads, I also grow Abyssinian Gladiolus (also called Peacock Orchids). Have you ever heard of them? They are just as easy but the flowers have a different shape and are white with a gorgeous dark purpley red throat. So pretty and one of my faves. I have only grown mine in the landscape so far but they would be glorious in a vase.
Thanks for keeping the videos coming. You’re awesome! 🌻🌷🌹
Yes! The peacock ones are lovely! I'll need some of those too LOL
omg I thought I would get a little tutorial but instead I got the best information and the best laugh ever!! You are amazing, thank you for your energy and sharing with such enthusiasm! I love gladiolus and I love how much you love them too!
I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!!!!!! YOU REMIND ME OF MY BEST FRIEND EXCEPT YOURE ALSO A FLOWER FARMER! THANKS FOR DOING SO MANY AMAZING VIDEOS. YOURE INFORMATIVE, HELPFUL, AND FUN.
Lol! From now on every time I see a glad, I will think it’s singing to me! I love that! And that flyer looks like it was made specifically for you. Wouldn’t that be something. Love the video Nicole! ❤️❤️
This Australian is super excited for the Dame Edna challenge! 🤩
Gladiolas are one of my favorites, I always buy a bunch at the farmers market when they are in season. I haven't been able to get them to grow well in my garden yet but we're trying again this year.
I have peach Gladys from my grandmas garden, I planted them many years ago.
I ordered some this year! I am so excited for the blooms!
Dame Edna! Haha I saw her 20 years ago at the Met Opera on New Years Eve with my grandma. I had no idea what to think of drag queens when I was 10 years old, but she made an impression! Thanks for bringing up that memory, even not flower related!
I remember my great grandmother having them in her flower bed. I never really got into growing them because you know, zone 4b. The one thing I do remember about gladiolus is that Drop Dead Fred is allergic to them (my kids watched that move a million times). I’d like to try growing them sometime. Maybe next year. Thanks for sharing such details.
☮️-Kirsten
Drop Dead Fred is a CLASSIC!
Can’t wait to see that Dame Edna photo 🤣 also thanks for all the gems of knowledge about glads. We’ve got a bag of 60 corms to add to the backyard!
That is awesome! You're very welcome!
Nicole, you are the first person to make me excited about my glads.
We bought a house last summer with beautifully curated gardens and I’m (not so patiently) waiting to see what unfurls this spring. This fall, I dug up so many gladiolus corms (zone 6b). I’m ‘glad’ 😉to say I have 400ish in storage waiting to be planted next month. Thank you for getting me excited about them. You are inspiring.
Question though, what do you do with the cormels?
Good morning from Ga.
I have my Gladiolàs to plant
I'm in zone 7b so thanks for the information
Good morning!
Nicole, so sorry about the gladiolus. It's especially hard when the glads are a cash crop. Fingers crossed for next year.
Love gladiolus 💜 I planted some a couple weeks ago inside as an experiment to see if I can grow them solely in a container....we shall see....
Nicole, I’d love to see you do a little experiment and leave a few in the ground over winter. Like me in northern Michigan, zone 5, you probably enough snow to insulate them. I understand your succession planting plan for the cut flowers, but perhaps you could try a few when you create the new landscape around your porch.
I actually did leave a couple hundred in the ground to experiment Barb! Fingers crossed 💐🤞
In the thumb here in Michigan and my mom is begging me to come dig up her glads and take them because she left all hers in the ground and they keep coming back every year. My mom LOVES her mulch so that might have something to do with it.
Love it! Beautiful blooms to brighten our winter day! Dame Edna and Nicole - it’s an Epic Rivalry!! 😂😂 How much ☕️☕️ did you have before filming this video? Now I have to order glads!😂😂
Just enough ☕️😂💐
The Rostov are gorgeous! I wish Nagel Glads was selling them this year!
Doing it!! Ordered a bunch load :) Was listening to the podcast, and being from Alberta Canada I have similar temps. I laughed so hard😂 , "-35 C is that even possible, how are you even alive"- Lets Grow Girls..😂.
I know these are considered annuals in my Zone 5 garden, but my neighbor has a patch of these that he says - and I've seen - they come back every year. I usually grow these in a pot and toss the bulbs out. I'm going to try and plant them deeply. Have you heard of this happening before in colder zones?
Oh Nicole! You should be onstage! Sooo funny and natural! You have the best unscripted videos! And the most awesome, what some would call, """BLOOPERS"", be we know it's just you being au natural. Beautiful Nicole... you are a Gladiolus.... different, rare, glorious. Have a blessed week 🌄.
Wow, thank you!
I can’t wait to see your Gladiola challenge outfit! Go Dame Nicole!
Thanks, you are a true joy to watch I had a smile thru the whole video. Now I am thinking should I plants some too.
You should!
Your fun to watch. Love your high energy. 😊👍
Good morning, thanks for glad tidings hehe😊
Any time!
I'm much better you silly 🤪 girl after laughing my but off I'm at work and was bored waiting for my flight to arrive until I watched 😅 your video you are great 👍 thank you for making my day.
Yay! You are very welcome Gladis!
Gladiolus are nostalgic for me because there were hardy glads growing at my dad's before he passed.
My dad had such nice memories of growing Gladiolus with his grandmother as a child. I am planning on planting some at his grave this spring.
@@julieventimiglia Great idea! I'm going to tale some to my dads!
I bought a gladiolus bouquet for a friend last year and she had never seen them before and absolutely was in awe! They are so fab!
I totally agree!
Seriously can’t wait to see u in the costume.your my favourite 😘❤️
💐😁☺️
Amazing video, thank you so much for all of the details!!! So helpful!!!
I am so sorry about your fall. Hope your ok! Cannot wait to see you dress up like that funny lady lol
I’ve always loved them 😀
I love this video!!! The focus on an individual plant is so fun!
Question- have you ever started early glads inside to get a jump on the season? I’m thinking of giving it a try this season!!
I have not. I tried growing them in a crate to extend the season but they didn't seem happy in there. I could have paid more attention to them and forgot to water a couple times.
Now I need to plant Glads! 😄
LOL Yes you do
God is an amazing painter!
Farmers Almanac says very very early last frost for us here in Chi town, weather.com agreeing with them! SO EXCITED!
Hi I'm new , one of my favorite flowers are gladiolus !! I've been watching your videos all day!!!
Received an order of summer bulbs yesterday including glads. I'm planting them in the flower bed around my deck to bring the hummers close.
Was going to wait until after our last frost date - March 28 - but I may go ahead and plant some this week.
Thanks for the information... and the amusement.
I totally agree with your grandpa about gladiolus☺️. I will never unsee their cute little singing faces!🤣 makes me love them more now! Lol
I totally agree!
I have the same pure excitement when looking at and talking about flowers lol. My husband doesn't get it haha. I want a paradise of flowers when I walk out my door. Would love to take a stroll around my yard being able to clip what I want for vases. Only issue is I prefer prennials. They just spread on their own and I can separate when over crowding and plant some elsewhere. I'm zone 6, I'd have to dig up Gladiolus and store them. I stored elephant ears one year pulled them out to replant and after awhile noticed maggots crawling on my counter. Yup disgusting apparently it rotted. Haven't stored a single bulb since lol.
Love this - so much information - thanks for sharing
